The oppositely-disposed inner edges of e the 'gussets' are disposed parallel to each other as at 20 and 21, while their upper ends are curved as at 22 and 23 respectively to "their point of attachment with the rear wall 11, leaving along said rear wall a flange 24 the opening of the bag.

In the modified form illustrated in Figure 2 thegussets 25, 26 are similarly constructed as described with respect to the preferred form, with exception of their formation with outer side flaps 27, 28 adapted to be secured to the rear wall llby means of snap buttons 29, and similar snap buttons 30 secure the folded lower end of the gussets to the hand-bag. i
